National Freedom Front (NFF) leader MP Wimal Weerawansa yesterday said that they would commence a world wide protest against international organizations, if they push for a Ceasefire. His warning followed the UN head Ban Ki - Moon’s recent statement on Sri Lanka that Government and the LTTE should go for a Ceasefire until civilians move to the safe areas.

Weerawansa told a press conference held at NFF headquarters that if the government had stopped operations the LTTE would never release civilians in their hands. If they wanted to protect civilians, they should force LTTE to release them and allow them to cross to cleared areas first.

"The LTTE has carried out attacks on fleeing civilians in several times recently. They attacked these innocent Tamil civilians while claiming they are the sole agent of the Tamil people. Now, Tamil people are realizing the LTTE leader Prabhakaran is the only enemy of Tamil people here. They are surprised by the government’s hospitality at the welfare centres in Wanni," Weerawansa said.

United We Stand........

Without allowing history to repeat itself, we must draw lessons from history and bear in mind that like in the past vested interests will never give up their efforts to destabilize our nation through intrigue. For them creating dissent is by far the most successful way to achieve their goal. Therefore the political leaders of the government and the opposition together with the military leaders of this country must realize that united we will be able to defeat such disruptive forces powered by vested interests and that divided we will fall prey to their designs.
